I normally keep letters of this kind closely held, but this afternoon
I found out that it is *extemely* likely the cult gets them, so there
is no point in not posting it for everyone to enjoy and use in writing
your own letters to local FBI offices about these abuses. (On the off
chance they are not reading these right out of a particular FBI
office, I will delete the names.)

Hand delivered.
Dear xxxx:
I talked to US Attorney xxxxx xxxxxxxx Friday of last week. He
advised me on organizing this material, particularly on what laws seem
to have been violated by the numerous attempts of the Scientology
organization to get people arrested and jailed by staging crimes.
Tuesday, after I mentioned we had talked, he told me to take it to you
initially and that--if you consider it appropriate--it should go to
him.
Mr.xxxxxxxx said that what the Scientologists were doing (faking
crimes and using the criminal justice system against critics) was
extortion, not of money, but trying to extort silence from people. He
pointed me to Title 18, Sec. 1952(b)(2) "extortion, bribery, or arson
in violation of the laws of the State in which committed or of the
United States," Sec. 1512, "Tampering with a witness, victim,
or an informant" and Sec. 1513. "Retaliating against a witness,
victim, or an informant," since every one of the people mentioned
below reported criminal activities of Scientology to the FBI or other
law enforcement before the extortion took place. Other probable
violations include Sec. 1503, 1510, 1511, 1425, 1426, 1427, 1546 and
perhaps 1581-1588.
[editorial note, the French indicted Scientology on extortion April 4,
2001]
There are so many cases that it would qualify under RICO.
The attached inch and a half stack of paper is in sections. First is
the high level political part. I know RICO investigations cannot
start without approval from the Justice Department. The previous
administration's friendly relations with John Travolta precluded
taking on this group no matter what they did. The current
President is not happy with the way concerns about Scientology and
other extreme groups derailed his faith based initiative. Also,
President Bush seems to have to the same problem I have--not knowing
better than to take a stick to a hornet’s nest.
The papers (mostly news stories) related to this subject are labeled
"Presidential Interest-faith based."
The next section is about what scientology did in trying to get Tom
Klemesrud, an FBI and IRS-CID informant, jailed by staging the
appearance of a crime. Until about a week ago the story of the woman
who spread blood all over Mr. Klemesrud's apartment didn't make sense
to me. But after a mention that the "Dead agent" (character attack)
material used in Finland to extract information from an anon remailer
service contained material about Mr. Klemesrud being investigated for
murder, it suddenly became clear to me that the object of this bizarre
episode (by scientology operatives, particularly Gene Ingram) was to
get Klemesrud arrested and jailed for weeks while the LAPD looked for
a body to go with the blood all over his apartment. The operation
went sour when Klemesrud did not pass out from the drugs put in his
drink and called the FBI and 911. There are transcripts of the 911
calls included in this material.
The next section relates to the recent trial of Mark Bunker in
Chicago. (Mr. Bunker is the person who made the video you viewed.)
Again they were using the criminal justice system in an attempt to
extort silence from a person who has been an informant/witness a
number of times. I left out the trial transcript, but I can give it
to you on disk, email or a pointer to a web site.
Arnie Lerma is next. He has been subject to three attempts to get
him arrested. You can check with FBI agent Tim O'Conner of the
Terrorist Task Force in Washington for details on one of them about
"blacking out the Internet." Lerma's web site, www.lermanet.com gets
*thousands* of hits every month from various law enforcement agencies,
most of them in Washington.
This is followed by a section on Pedro Lerma (no relation) of Spain.
This matter is still current, with a number of Scientologists being
tried in Madrid at the moment, including (in absentia) the figurehead
President of Scientology, Heber C. Jentzsch. Mr. Jentzsch is missing
after forfeiting a million dollar bond to the Spanish government.
Jentzsch was charged (among other crimes) with "Simulation of a
felony."
Bob Minton is next. Mr. Minton has been subjected to trumped-up
criminal proceedings three times, once in Boston and twice in
Clearwater, FL and attempts have been made in other countries. The
last time in Clearwater I was brought in on the same charge of
violating an injunction that limited picketing. Mr. Minton
has conveyed a great deal of information to a number of high level
investigative agencies and qualified before any of this started as a
witness/informant. Minton has put several million dollars of his own
money into exposing the abuses of scientology and providing a place
where people like Lawrence Woodcraft (next section) can expose abuses
as Mr. Woodcraft does in his declaration about massive asbestos
exposure of passengers and crew on Scientology’s Freewinds cruise
ship.
Another person who has been arrested after being framed by scientology
is Jesse Prince (next section). Mr. Prince was charged with
manufacturing a drug after a single small marijuana plant was found on
his property. There is a hearing April 9, 2001 on allowing
questioning of the two private investigators who brought their
"discovery" to the police in Largo, FL. One of these, a private
investigator named Gaston, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx. Mr. Prince has talked *extensively* to FBI agents about a
long list of what he knew and did, particularly in the matter of
corrupting judges when he was highly placed (#2) in Scientology. His
information is corroborate by the files the FBI has on PI Richard
Bast's hiring of a prostitute in Los Angeles to compromise Federal
Judge Richey. Bast is also known for trying to compromised Federal
Judge Ben Krentzman in Clearwater (for Scientology) with prostitutes
and drugs. Mr. Prince has knowledge about the attempted judicial
murder of a US citizen by a Scientology agent in Hong Kong and the
payoffs to get Ron Miscavige, the father of David Miscavige (head of
Scientology), out of assault and rape charges in his home town in
Michigan. Allegedly, David brought in Scientology’s legal team and
muscle to handle the situation and his father was released without
consequences.
Next is a thick stack of motions from my case in Hemet, CA where I
have been charged under Cal. Penal code 422. I think you will find
the motion and arguments to disqualify the entire Riverside County
District Attorney's office interesting. If you want to pursue this
matter, I believe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is extremely unhappy with the role
into which he was coerced. If you were to offer him minimum
inducement, I believe he would be more than happy to cooperate. I
think you will also find the DA's motion attacking the "lay opinion"
of Deputy Tony Greer to be unique in a prosecutorial setting.
In addition to these people, an attempt was made to charge my lawyer,
Graham Berry, on the basis of the paid for and later recanted
testimony of a certain Anthony Apodaca. Mr. Apodaca acknowledges in a
deposition receiving $200 while in jail, and the lawyer, Donald Wager,
who paid this money acknowledged doing so in a deposition and being
reimbursed (page 57, line 24) by Scientology agent/lawyer Kendrick
Moxon. (Wager was also involved in the Tom Klemesrud attack above.)
I have these depositions and will supply them on request.
This is not a complete list. I am leaving out (but can supply)
material I have on Paulette Cooper who was indicted by a Grand Jury in
New York after Scientology agents stole her stationary with her
fingerprints on it, mailed themselves a bomb threat, and brought the
letter to the FBI. The FBI raid on Scientology in the late 70s
confiscated the detailed plan and operational notes for framing Ms
Cooper from Scientology’s headquarters in Los Angeles. I am also
leaving out details of the 35 days in solitary confinement of critic
Tom Padgett in Kentucky due to "lost" court papers, and the framing of
the former mayor of Clearwater, Gabe Cazares, by Scientologists in a
staged hit and run incident in Washington, DC (which cost Cazares a
seat in Congress). To this you could add a very probable blackmail
job on the former medical examiner in Clearwater.
Most or perhaps all of these extortion efforts were controlled by
unindicted co-conspirator Kendrick Moxon and all were paid for by tax
exempt "religious donations." Mr. Moxon was not solely concerned with
using the criminal justice system as a private tool to silence people.
He was also involved in character attacks and civil cases to the same
end per the Cipriano declaration. This declaration has been in the
hands of the FBI in both San Jose and other places for months. (See
www.lermanet.com/reference/cipriano.htm for a copy.)
The next three sections, Kim Baker, Gardini, and Sample Attack are for
background. If any US Attorney has the nerve to take up this matter,
they can expect to be stalked, their background investigated, their
character attacked, their children stalked, and perhaps their pets
killed. So far Scientology has refrained from lethal attacks, but
this cannot be entirely discounted as the shrinking cult becomes more
desperate.
Following that are two sections on RICO and some material on the
infiltration of/attack on/ the Attorney General's office [in
California] some years ago by scientology. The material is old, but
they are operating from the same policy manuals to this day.
I hope this letter (factual to the best of my knowledge, signed under
penalty of perjury) and the enclosed material meets the requirements
US Attorney xxxxx xxxxxxxx discussed with me last week.
If it does not, and you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Respectfully submitted,
